Umingmuk

Umingmuk
Umingmuk by Pudlo Pudlat, stonecut print, 59.7 x 84.5 cm. Photo: Bernard Clark. Source: City of Kingston Civic Collection.
Pudlo Pudlat (1916-1992) began his artistic career in the 1950s when he moved to the Kinngait (Cape Dorset) area. He didn’t settle on drawing and printmaking until 1959-1960. His style is original and often contains subtle inclusions of humour. Umingmuk, 1970 is a powerful stonecut image that juxtaposes the texture of the muskox with the flatness of the printed surface and there is an undeniable element of playfulness in this work.
Pudlo Pudlat a débuté sa carrière d’artiste dans les années 1950 lorsqu’il s’est installé dans la région de Kinngait (Cape Dorset). Ce n’est qu’en 1959-1960 qu’il s’est dédié au dessin et à la gravure. Son style original contient souvent des touches d’humour. Umingmuk est une image puissante obtenue à l’aide d’une pierre taillée, qui juxtapose la texture du bœuf musqué et le plat de la surface imprimée, et qui comporte un élément ludique indéniable.
